### 5/5 — Super cozy

*2026-08-10, version 1.9.2*

This game is great. There is occasionally small lag but apart from that it runs very smoothly. There are fun mini games you can play to get money.

### 5/5 — Calming and Fun

*2026-08-06, version 1.9.2*

This is such a calming and fun game. I’m caught up on all the current quests and excited for the new ones to drop. In the meantime, I’m playing mini games and working on my relationships with all the residents! I’m confused about the comments with ad complaints, because most of the ads are optional, and I only have maybe one ad pop up per day that isn’t tied to a reward.  Compared to most other free games, that’s super nice. I also rarely choose to watch an ad for a reward, and I’ve been able to progress through the game at a good pace! Also acorns have been perfect easy to earn and use to buy keys, stamps, etc. I haven’t had any glitches that I can think of.

### 4/5 — Wish it was a full game!

*2026-02-05, version 1.7.10*
